whether the GPLv3 requires us to do so. To me, "available to the public" includes having it on the internet for anyone to connect to
No and no. The GPL only requires that you make the source available (in your choice of several ways) when you distribute the program. Running it on your own machine where others can communicate with it does not obligate you to do anything at all under the license. The AGPL does require you to offer sources to whomever connects to the program (assuming the original program also did so). The GPL skeptics on this group are even more skeptical of this than they are of the plain GPL.
